John 16:1-33
Understand that there will be tough times for those who love Jesus
But He will comfort His children
Desire direction from the Lord…we can’t see what He sees
Some people handle situations better because they have the Comforter
You can’t work-out to get it…you have to live in it
And even though there may be sorrow at times…
It will all be worth it when He comes backl
What is it that makes you happy or not happy?
To have joy, ask Jesus
Realize the incredable amount of love Jesus has for us
Don’t let Jesus dying on the cross become irrelevant
Get rid of the “evil God/sweet Jesus” mentality
For God is love…we have a loving God
And now we can talk to the God of all creation because Jesus died on the cross
This year, don’t let your problems overcome the joy and comfort that God gives
Fully appreciate the sacrifice that was made for you to have a right relationship with the Lord
John 17:1-5
